I picked up a nice conversion at the Cody gun show. It is a 17 pounder, with a L.N. Fogg scope in 45-110 caliber. The bore is excellent and there is plenty of color/case still on the receiver and lever. I hope to be shooting it soon...

Re: New Old Sharps
Kirk very nice find. Any idea when the scope was produced and what power it is? Is the scope in useable condition?

Re: New Old Sharps
Looks nice Shrappy is it a Meachum conversion? Is it a tight chamber gun like the originals? bobw

Re: New Old Sharps
Very nice rifle Kirk. All original?
Had a chance to buy a similar rifle, sans scope, at a gun show in Great Falls nearly 50 years ago. I had the money and wanted the gun, but talked myself out of it.

Re: New Old Sharps
I saw it in Denver last may and Tom Winters just happened to walk by when I was looking at it and helped to determine it is a Meachum conversion. I had already blown a ton of money at Denver and the owner told me he would have it in Cody. I met him in Cody and bought it. Now I have to get it shooting...

Re: New Old Sharps
Yeah nice, a lot of the Meachums I've seen had the same or very similar checkering on the butt like yours. If it's chambered tight you probably won't get it to accept any case loaded with a .458" grease groove bullet. Send me a pm if you need some .442" ppb's bobwKirk Stovall wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:26 amI saw it in Denver last may and Tom Winters just happened to walk by when I was looking at it and helped to determine it is a Meachum conversion.
